TV On The Radio – Return To Cookie Mountain LP on Sale

TV on the Radio s story is one of synchronicity, of serendipity, of epiphany. TVOTR began with Tunde Adebimpe (vocals) and David Sitek (multi-instrumentalist and production kingpin) being roommates, drinking way too much coffee, making art. They started trading tapes of each other s four track recordings and thought it d be fun to try to make a real record.

Touch And Go released TV on the Radio s stunning EP Young Liars in July 2003, and it immediately marked them out as one of the most musically innovative bands to have emerged in years. Their debut full-length Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes set 2004 off to a dramatically positive start. With new member Kyp Malone sharing songwriting, guitar and vocal duties, TVOTR was quickly on the path to the being one of the most talked-about new groups in America. After touring as a trio, Jaleel Bunton (drums) and Gerard Smith (bass) joined the band to create the official TVOTR line up. The band s second studio album, Return to Cookie Mountain, leaked in early 2006 and garnered pre-release praise from such outlets as Pitchfork before it s official release in July. Filled with guest appearances from David Bowie, Celebration, Antibalas, Blonde Redhead, and YYY s Nick Zinner.
